You do understand they don't release those facts while the investigation is still happening right?

As in, it's not dead... so they don't just publish that stuff for the public. There is an entire task force at the FBI still pursuing this investigation FFS.

I am not a lawyer, nor an investigator, nor even an american for that matter. I am just a commentator on the internet with no authority whatsoever, but a strong wish that you americans would start to get your shit together before you're doing something that impacts the rest of the world. All I can say is that, with the number of scandals big and small Trump is amassing by the week, it is baffling to me why there aren't any congressional hearings, any investigative committees being convened with the intent to bring impeachment charges. US conservatives spent months and years on trying to make absolutely sure that Hillary Clinton would get justice after what is, in essence, a failure in public communication, yet these guardians of proper governmental procedure and transparency are silent when Trump does his best to turn the US into a chickenshit dictatorship. Hell, there are rumours that Trump tried to get Comey to affirm his personal loyalty to Trump (something that Comey, knowing that the US doesn't do personal loyalty to the person of the President, declined to do).

This is the guy you want to defend? This moron who spends time other presidents use to work golfing, and yet doesn't grasp why he can't get his big ticket items done?

They spent millions trying to nail Bill Clinton over the Monica scandal, and the rest of the world said, so what, that's nothing to do with his fitness to govern. Then they spent millions (led by Trump) trying to prove that Obama wasn't born in America, and the rest of the world found it strange that a nation built by immigrants had such an archaic law that made no sense anyway.
Now there is clear evidence of actual incompetence that indicates big trouble for the country ahead, and nothing is being done? People say Australians are weird, but we're amateurs compared to the US.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Smr. Ptesident Trump actually saying that the "Russia investigation" was part of his thinking when he fired Comey is not factual evidence of possible obstruction of justice with regard to the Russia investigation?

Seriously??

What would be factual evidence?

What about in the firing of Bharara?
Surely firing someone who was investigating Trump administration officials for corruption after the President offered to keep him on also smacks of obstruction.
Someone whose biggest scalps for corruption were Democrats I might mention.

Surely firing Sally Yates while she was investigating Trump administration officials for corruption is possible obstruction?



You know what they say.
Once is happenance.
Twice is coincidence.
Three times ...

There´s an article in Time that gives some interesting insights into how Trump works, oh right, found it:
http://time.com/donald-trump-after-hours/

Try reading it, you might find some of it enlightening.


Then go back and figure out how you could miss the really superb job of character assassination the article does on him.


Thing to remember about Trump is that he is NOT a politician. He runs the presidential position like he would run just another corporate CEO position.
In short, he simply does not do things the "proper" way, and then he´s confused when people interpret his actions based on what we would expect from a politician.

Not saying whether that firing was suspect or not, because it could be either way, as it goes perfectly along with his personality and "leadership" style either way.

The Presidents actions regarding Yates and Bharara would raise red flags in the business world too.

Big ones.

This opinion piece is a good one to one sum up my opinion of Putin's pet.

Pretty sure if a CEO fired an internal auditor after the internal auditor reported they were investigating possible misconduct by the CEO that would be an issue too.

There is no excusing the crap Trump pulls by simply saying "oh he's a businessman not a politician".
